Bears' D'Andre Swift: Expected to play Saturday
D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play against the Packers on Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.Swift drew the questionable tag for Saturday's NFC North tilt due to a groin injury that limited his practice participation during Week 16 prep. It appears the veteran running back is on track to be available, but his status may not be officially known until the Chicago Bears announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. It's not clear what Swift's workload will look like, but rookie Kyle Monangai would be in line for more offensive snaps if the former's workload is limited to reduce the risk of injury aggravation. Swift sits at 935 rushing yards through 13 regular-season games, and he has three more games to reach the 1,000-yard threshold for the second time in his six-year NFL career.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Over century mark in big win
D'Andre Swift rushed 18 times for 125 yards and a touchdown while bringing in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Chicago Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.It was a banner day for the Bears' ground attack, as both Swift and Kyle Monangai comfortably exceeded 100 yards. Each back also punched in a score, with Swift's coming from three yards out late in the first quarter and serving as his first trip to the end zone on the ground since Week 8. Swift's rushing yardage total was also a new season high, making it a highly rewarding day against one of his previous squads. Swift saw four fewer carries than his rookie backfield mate Friday, however, but the division of labor could fluctuate week to week down the stretch depending on a number of factors, including who proves to have the hot hand in any given contest.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Forgettable day in win
D'Andre Swift rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Chicago Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.As his final rushing line indicates, Swift was absolutely stonewalled on the ground, and to make matters worse, he also lost a fumble in Steelers territory early in the second quarter. The turnover didn't lead to any Pittsburgh points, but backfield mate Kyle Monangai notably outpaced Swift in carries by four and also scored a rushing touchdown. Whether the developments signal a changing of the guard remains to be seen, but both backs have a tough matchup against Swift's former Eagles squad on the road on Black Friday.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Practices fully Thursday
D'Andre Swift (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.Swift has been a regular on Chicago Bears injury reports dating back to Week 7, but he appears to be getting gradually healthier. After sitting out a Nov. 2 win over the Bengals and then having his reps managed more carefully prior to returning to the lineup for a Week 10 win over the Giants, Swift has now upgraded to full participation by the Bears' second practice for the second straight week. Swift looks to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers, and he could be in line for a larger workload after he handily outperformed rookie Kyle Monangai out of the backfield in both of the past two games. Between those contests, Swift averaged 5.0 yards on 34 totes, while Monangai was limited to an average of 2.7 yards per carry on 19 rushing attempts.
